Notably, fossil fuel combustion significantly contributes to rising atmospheric CO₂ levels. To address this problem, various carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies have been developed, aiming to reduce CO₂ emissions and mitigate their impact on climate change. Absorption using aqueous amines has long been recognized as a method for removing diluted CO₂ from gas streams, but it comes with drawbacks such as high energy intensity and corrosion issues. The use of solid adsorbents, however, is now being seriously considered as a potential alternative, offering a possibly less energy-intensive separation method. The primary focus of this study is to outline the recent development of advanced solid adsorbents, including zeolites, carbon-based materials, MOFs, COFs, boron nitride, magnetic nanoparticles, and mesoporous silica, along with their CO₂ uptake behavior. In CO₂ capture procedures, selecting the appropriate adsorbent is crucial, yet it's not a straightforward task to determine the most promising sorbent beforehand due to various factors affecting performance and economy. In recent years, machine learning (ML) algorithms, particularly artificial neural networks (ANN) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) have emerged as valuable tools for predicting physical properties, expediting the selection of optimal adsorbents for CO₂ capture, optimizing synthesis conditions of adsorbents, and understanding advantageous variables for gas-solid interaction. The secondary objective of this review is to establish a correlation between recent advancements and potential future breakthroughs in the domain of machine learning-assisted CO₂ adsorbents. In summary, this review aims to provide a comprehensive guideline for selecting tailored solid adsorbent materials according to recently reported research to achieve high-performance CO₂ capture. By exploring various materials, their properties, and the mechanisms that influence their effectiveness, this review intends to facilitate informed decisions and innovative solutions for CO₂ adsorbents.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18322,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Sustainability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141539395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used solid industrial winery waste to prepare an innovative heteroatom containing graphene-like porous carbon (HGPC) by simple heat treatment and chemical activation using KOH. The prepared N and S containing HGPC had a thin sheet-like structure, a high specific surface area (925.00 m2/g), and a micro-<em>meso</em>-porosity suitable for sustainable energy storage applications. A density functional theory investigation indicated that the synergistic effects of N and S co-doping enhanced both conductivity and electrolyte ion (Na⁺) diffusion kinetics in HGPC samples. When the solid winery waste-derived HGPC was used in a supercapacitor (SC) cell assembly with a diglyme-based electrolyte, it delivered an operating voltage window of 2.0 V, which was about twice as wide as those reported for symmetric SCs and compared well with those of asymmetric/hybrid SCs. In addition, it had a specific capacitance of 32 F/g (at the cell level) with a high energy density of 17.7 Wh/kg at a power density of 303.42 W/kg and excellent cycling stability over 10,000 charge/discharge cycles.

However, its use as a solid biomass in lithium-ion battery materials is subject to several restrictions. About 2–12% of eggs experience shell cracking yearly during production and transport. These broken eggs cannot be adequately consumed by humans and also cause significant economic losses and wastage. This biomass waste has never been focused on lithium-ion battery energy storage materials. This study utilised egg white gel as a carbon source to enhance the performance of Si and SnO₂, which possess significant individual capacity. Hydrothermally, ingenious SnO₂ layers were deposited in the vicinity of Si NPs. Then, Si@SnO₂ was uniformly dispersed in a solution of egg whites; the resulting mixture was freeze-dried and annealed to form Si@SnO₂@Biochar ternary composites. Si offers an exceptionally high specific capacity. The electrode structure is influenced by the outer biomass carbon's electrical conductivity enhancements. It, in conjunction with the SnO₂ layer, limits the bulk effect of the electrode, a critical factor in improving conductivity and overall performance. The material composed of Si@SnO₂@Biochar exhibits remarkable electrochemical stability across a range of current densities.

Herein, we have developed Cu–Mo Bimetal Sulfo-Selenide Nanocomposite (CuMoSSe) by incorporating Cu into the MoSSe system through a single-step hydrothermal method and explored it as a catalyst for electrochemical hydrogen evolution.

The enhanced electrochemical activity with smaller charge-transfer resistance (47.8 Ω) and larger double-layer capacitance (14.74 mF/cm²) values with a low Tafel slope of 79.1 mV/dec can be attributed to the effective kinetics and enhanced electrical conductivity of the composite due to the hybrid structure which is backed by the decrease in Gibbs free energy value calculated through theoretical studies.
